Chairman and CEO announces bold next generation
2030 sustainability targets for Ingersoll Rand and strategic brands
Trane® and Thermo King®
Ingersoll Rand (NYSE:IR), a world leader in creating
comfortable, sustainable and efficient environments, today was
awarded the World Environment Center’s 35th Annual Gold Medal for
International Corporate Achievement in Sustainable Development.
Former United States Secretary of Energy Ernest J. Moniz
presented the award to Michael W. Lamach, chairman and chief
executive officer of Ingersoll Rand, tonight during the Gold Medal
Presentation Ceremony in Washington, D.C.
In 2014, the company announced 2020 Environmental, Social and
Governance targets in the area of operations and supply chain;
systems and services; and people and citizenship [2018 ESG fact
sheet]. The award recognizes the company’s significant achievements
over the past five years in global environmental excellence and
sustainable development.
“I am honored to accept the Gold Medal Award on behalf of our
team around the world, who has made sustainability central to our
business strategy and how we grow, operate and engage,” said
Lamach. “As we look to the future of our company, sustainability is
fundamental to our competitive advantage and our ability to create
lasting value for our people, our customers and our shareholders.
We are excited to build on our strong foundation with the launch of
bold new targets to keep us on the forefront of business, social
and environmental sustainability.”
Ingersoll Rand, together with leading brands Trane® and Thermo
King® also today announced its 2030 sustainability aspirations
aligned to the time horizon of the United Nations Sustainable
Development goals. These commitments are designed to meet the
challenge of climate change, provide world-class systems and
service performance for buildings, homes, transportation and
industrial customers, and improve the quality of life for the
people and communities where it operates and serves. The company
will continue momentum and create positive impact through three
actions by 2030:
- Scale technology, innovation and
sustainability strategies to enable more efficient customer
solutions. This includes reducing the customer carbon footprint
by one gigaton1 CO2e –
equivalent to the annual emissions of Italy, France and the United
Kingdom combined.
- Transform its supply chain and
operations to have a restorative impact on the environment
including achieving carbon neutral operations, zero waste
to landfill and a 10% absolute reduction in energy
consumption, and giving back more water than we use in
water-stressed areas.
- Increase opportunity for all,
strengthening economic mobility and bolstering the
quality of life of our people and those in the communities
where we operate and serve. This includes achieving gender
parity in leadership roles and a workforce reflective of our
community populations, maintaining livable market-competitive
wages and progressive benefits; and broadening community
access to well-being services including food/nutrition, housing
and shelter, transportation, education and climate comfort.
